Description: The School Board welcomes input from community members and staff. A "Citizen
Participation" time is available at the beginning of the meeting. Please adhere to the following
guidelines outlined in Policy 203.
• Input should be short (approx. 3 minutes or less)
• Comments should be germane to the agenda and respectful.
• Repetition should be avoided if possible; new input is best.
• Under Policy 203, public comment must not be discriminatory in nature. The Board Chair has the authority to stop any comments that violated Nova's policy or are discriminatory.
• When the Business section of the meeting begins, citizen input should cease. Occasionally,
if a topic is controversial, the Board Chair may choose to allow more citizen input during that
particular agenda item. The Board Chair may also request input from the citizens if more
expertise or clarification is needed on a topic.

For July, the public comment will begin shortly after 7:00 pm.
